Tell us a little bit about yourself.

How did you become interested in fashion?
I have always been "the rare" (talking about fashion) liked to wear different from others, try new things, buy second hand clothes and mix styles, I’m not sure if that is fashion but I’m still on that line.

What inspired you to start your own blog?
I used to spent hours in front of my computer looking for different styles to wear things, different ways to see the "real world" I didn’t know that the blogosphere was as big as it is until last year that I started reading many blogs and fell in love with the idea of putting together the things I love in one place.

What are your dreams and aspirations?
Dreams? I have many and tomorrow I will have more for sure, I try to make them true so I can enjoy them. I want to keep doing what I do (I love it) , become better & better everyday in each role I have decided to have.


How would you describe your style? What’s your favorite look at this moment?
My style is eclectic I can’t choose only one way to go, I enjoy trying different things sometimes you succeed and some others you would like to die , the good news is that you have 365 days to try again.

My favorite look is a floral dress, with a vintage shirt, wedges and a big bow.

Where do you get your fashion inspirations?
From people in the street: Grandmas have a lot to give ( I mean it) , magazines and other bloggers. You can get inspirations from everywhere & everyone, its all about observation.

Where do you shop? What are your favorite brands?
I usually wear handmade, second hand clothes or vintage :) , when I go shopping is to low cost shops like BLANCO ( spain) , Zara, Mango, H&M. I dont spend thousands in one piece.
